I hope I didn't scare you. I know I haven't written in a long time so I hope my presence back on my blog isn't too startling. Life's been busy in this part of the world. Not only have I been writing blog posts all day for the start up I currently work for (if …

That Something Special
This past weekend was the holiest of Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. It is the tradition to fast for 24 hours, spend some time in services praying and reflect on your transgressions over the past year. Here in Israel the entire country shuts down, no stores are open and no one is …
Starting the year off right
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's festivities! I celebrated with a night of drinks and dancing 🙂 It was a perfect way to spend the evening, moving on the dance floor with both my good hip and my no-longer-broken one. The first day of 2013 was spent resting my tired legs, enjoying the fresh …
On top of the world
at the Top of the Mark. If you live here, are passing through, or if you are on vacation in San Francisco, you must stop at the historic 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins. The views are incredible and will simply make you smile at the beauty of the city. And the drinks will put …

I know him – he’s on TV
Day one of sugar cleanse: Honestly, I did not really have any strong craving for anything sweet. In the morning I wanted to dip my spoon into my jar of cookie butter but was able to restrain myself and left the apartment with no regrets. There was still plenty of snacking to refuel after my …

I scream for ice cream
I finally woke up with an actual appetite on Saturday and after enjoying a banana with peanut butter and a few handfuls of cereal I attempted some exercise. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill and did a few abs and it felt great to sweat again (not due to a virus that is). (I …
Alumni Dinner
Wednesday was the day I remembered I love eggs. After an arm workout posted by Julie, I came home and made this fantastic egg sandwich: Sandwich thin Egg whites 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast and of course KETCHUP, yum This, plus leftovers from last night, fueled me for the day. While it was snowing in the east …
